Gentlemen, I assume all of us agree on the fact that shoes are important, they matter, they need to be paid attention if you want to draw attention! If you still don't agree, here's an article that you must read first - Shoes. Why do they matter? There is a very famous quote around shoes, You can wear anything as long as you put a nice pair of shoes with it So how many pair of shoes does a man need? There is no magic number. It largely depends on personal preferences, lifestyle and age. Some men can own just one pair of formal shoes and use it for all occasions that require you to wear shoes while others can own just one pair of casual shoes and that's all that they need. Both the approaches are totally NOT fine. Now the list below contains 5 different types of shoes available out there. It doesn't mean you should own all of them but it is a good place to start creating a diverse shoe collection that covers every possible occasion.
